A neuro diagnosis changes everything in an instant
Every diagnosis brings an urgent need for guidance, connection and the right support.
With your help families like Judy’s can access vital support and services when they need it most.
Help someone navigate their neuro journey
Neurological conditions such as dementia, MS, Parkinson’s and stroke can take someone's life off course, stealing memory, mobility and independence.
More than 1.3 million Queenslanders are living with a neurological condition, and just 6% of these people receive vital support.
That’s when Vicki, an MS Queensland Community Navigator, connected them with the support and services they needed.
Please donate today to help more families like Judy’s find the guidance and support they need.

This video tells the story of Judy, who lived with early onset dementia from the age of 56. Following filming, Judy passed away peacefully. With her family's blessing, her story is being shared in the hope it helps others.
Judy's Story
Judy was just 56 when she was diagnosed with early onset dementia.
Her daughter Denita watched her mum who had always been capable, busy, and deeply connected to her community become confused and uncertain.
“Dementia stole my mother. It stole my children’s grandmother. It stole her certainty.”
Judy’s journey living with dementia became all too much for her daughters to solely care for her.
That’s when Vicki, an MS Queensland Community Navigator, connected the family with support, services and a community who cared.
Meet Vicki
When her partner of 41 years suffered a catastrophic stroke, she felt lost and alone, leaving hospital with no direction or support.
Vicki vowed that no family should ever face this type of loss alone.
Vicki now works as a Community Navigator for MS Queensland, helping families through the uncertainty of a diagnosis and connecting them to the support and services they need.
Your donation will help Vicki be that crucial navigator connecting someone with the right supports at the right time.

Music that connects us
Our MS Queensland community has come together to create a special playlist of favourite songs, to highlight the powerful role music plays for people living with neurological conditions.
Music can spark memory, emotion and create a powerful sense of connection.
Neuro conditions take a person's life off course. Together, we can make sure support is there when the road ahead feels uncertain.
If you are living with a neurological condition and are in need of help and support, please call our friendly Neuro Assist team on 1800 177 591 to explore what support is available.
